To this day, nearly 40 years later, that's right 40 years, the 40th anniversary of man's first visit to the moon is this summer - July 16, 1969 - I remember where I was and what I was doing and I was not even 12 years old, my birthday being a few months later. I was spending time with my dad in Cottage Grove Oregon. I also remember the day, because it was the first time that I had ever been bitten by an ant - not those little piss-ants (sugar ants), no, it was one of those big ol ants. I was an avid follower of the Apollo program from its beginning right on through to it end with Apollo 17. I remember how disappointed I was when it was announced that Apollo 17 would be the last Apollo mission. Who can for forget ABC Science writer Jules Bergman - I worshiped that man and still consider him an American Hero. Here's a great link at Popular Mechanics.
